The SFA Board of Regents approved the 2021-2022 holiday schedule at its July 27, 2021, meeting. The holiday schedule includes university closure during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break periods, which requires non-faculty employees to take paid leave days (or leave without pay if no paid leave is available) for five (5) days including Nov. 24, Dec. 30 and 31, and March 10 and 11.
SFA Policy 12.11 Administrative Leave allows the president to grant leave to employees who meet certain job performance criteria. In accordance with this policy, and in acknowledgement of the sacrifice of staff employees related to the FY2021 vacation furlough requirements, I intend to award administrative leave not to exceed 32 hours per employee based upon the criteria and procedures outlined in the policy.
Cabinet members should work within each respective division to ensure that SFA Policy 12.11 guidelines and procedures are properly followed.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for all of your service.
Sincerely,
Scott Gordon
President
